Fiat is finally pouring money into Alfa Romeo and a new report is indicating the funds will pave the way for a new 6C.

Set to be based on the Maserati Alfieri, the 6C will reportedly feature a stylish exterior with a prominent grille that is flanked by slender LED headlights. We can also expect a "tear-drop shaped" greenhouse and the usual Alfa Romeo styling cues.

Power will reportedly be provided by a Maserati-sourced twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine. Nothing is official but the Auto Express suggests it will produce 480-520 bhp (358-387 kW).

The model is slated to arrive in 2017 and production will reportedly be limited to a "few thousand" units.
